2017 Cancer Math – cc-TDI Fellow

SSF voted unanimously to support Dr. Noah Berlow, the Super Sam Fellow, at cc-TDI’s research lab, as he focused on Cancer Math. cc-TDI’s goal with this project was to take the first step toward building the evidence they need to help children battling sarcoma get personalized drug combinations.  The most exciting aspect of this research is that while the initial proving ground of Cancer Math is sarcoma, once validated it could apply to any cancer type. To learn more about Cancer Math, please visit cc-TDI’s website.

2016 Metastasis Project:
SUPER Powered Apotome Scope for the Zeiss Microscope

Dr. Charles Keller, Scientific Director for cc-TDI, knew that in order to watch how metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma spread, a living source was needed. A quail egg membrane provides a living source of oxygen and a vascular structure which with a sample of a live tumor placed on it and through the use of this microscope researchers are able to watch how the tumor will grow, therefore determining how best to stop its growth.
